Drače is a tiny village on the northern coast of the Pelješac peninsula in southern Dalmatia — a scatter of stone houses around a sheltered harbour, a handful of restaurants, and one of the quieter pebble-and-shingle beaches on the peninsula. There is nothing to "see" in the touristic sense: come for a few days of swimming in clear Adriatic water, seafood dinners on family konoba terraces, and the peninsula's famous Plavac Mali red wine from the Dingač vineyards a few kilometres west. The nearest substantial town is Ston, about 20 km south with its medieval walls and famous oysters; ferries to Korčula run from nearby Prapratno.

Things to Do
Drače is a place for doing very little on purpose. The beach, the sea, the evening konoba, the wine. There are no museums, no monuments, no queues.
The surrounding Pelješac peninsula offers more structured excursions: the Dingač vineyards a few kilometres west, the medieval walls and oyster beds of Ston to the south, and the ferry from Prapratno to Korčula for a day island-hopping. But the point of Drače is that you don't have to do any of it.
